Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How our film set catering works in Stoughton
Call times change, so give us a contact on the day and we will work around it. Whether it is crew treats on long shoot days and seaside and period locations, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Shoots around Stoughton frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Allergies and diets you know about
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Questions from Stoughton
Which station is closest to Stoughton?
The closest is Guildford station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you cover Stoughton?
We do. Stoughton is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
